Art Ford's Jazz Party: Remastered

For years, many of the Art Ford's Jazz Party videos at YouTube have been miserable. The sound of the TV show broadcast in New York in 1958 and featuring jazz greats was fuzzy and there was a disconnect between what you saw and what you heard. Now, Jimi Mentis in Athens has brought them up to snuff with beautiful sound and spot-on synchronization. [Pictured above, Art Ford]
